The Happening

I see there are loads of bad reviews for it on iTunes and a few good ones. Should I rent this movie? has anyone seen it?

i remember starting a thread about this after seeing it at the movies and sorta raving it. i saw it again a bit after (online) and came to the conclusion that this is one of the worst, most depressing things i've ever seen. an entire film of suicides. awful lock

Do NOT see this movie, it is absolutely pathetic. I nearly fell asleep and the ending is just annoying.

oh yeah, the kids can take themselves to the bathroom, and you can pause it and rewind bits you couldn't understand, and turn subtitles on if people are mumbling lol

I must admit I really liked The Village, and didn't really mind The Happening, but it was a bit of a let down

It's probably a bit scary for kids and it's a bit of a snoozer anyway. I wouldn't bother.

Yeah, even though (supposedly) M.Knight based it on a "children's story" that he made up himself...I wouldn't recommend it for kids. Too much convoluted dialoge and there are some scary parts.
